You notice anything those teams share?

If LA played in the East, how easy of a schedule do you think they would have?

Well of course the good teams have less of a difficult schedule.. they don't have to play themselves, and vice versa for a bad teams. For example the perennial losing team the GSW obviously don't get the luxury of facing themselves 4 times out of the year, nor the Lakers have the difficulty of facing themselves 4 times a year as well.

Small Market teams getting an ass-kicking. No surprise NOH with the toughest schedule and TOR gets no break.

CONSPIRACY? BAGELRED HIT 'EM UP.

Newflash. Toronto sucks.

How would you propose Toronto to have an easy schedule? Miami's schedule is easy only relative to it being Miami playing that schedule. If Miami and Toronto swapped schedule's, Toronto wouldn't then have the easiest schedule, because they wouldn't be projected to win those games as much as a good team like Miami would.

It's not like Miami has to face the Miami Heat a bunch of times. They get to play a bunch of weaker teams. Toronto doesn't ever get to play against the Raptors for easy wins.

How could you NOT have an easy schedule when you're far and away the dominant team in the conference?
